Why do children play and why do they stop playing? David Cohen's
book answers these questions in light of recent research.
Psychologists argue that children play to learn how to move, how to
speak, how to think, how to cope emotionally, how to be
imaginative, and how to interact with other people. David Cohen
suggests that we need to look at the origins of play in the family,
and excamine how children play with objects, language, and with
each other and their parents.
"An excellent critical appraisal of research on play. Cohen
offers a refreshing open perspective, although he acknowledges that
we seem to need a serious reason for play in order to justify
studying it....Very readable and entertaining."
